Best places: Nature preserves in Leeds, United Kingdom

👍👍 Absolutely beautiful scenery, lovely to walk round (choose your route carefully, the long route is a lot further than it looks!) Plenty of parking for £4 all day, or if it's busy you can park on the road outside. Friendly staff in the little cafe which is reasonable. Lots of birds to see, depending...

Walking trails among wetlands & woods, popular for spotting birds like kingfishers & spoonbills.

Wetland riverside nature reserve with rich bird life in multiple habitats, plus visitor centre.

👍👍 Always a lovely walk at Adel Dam, kids love it and we saw some amazing wildlife. We were especially lucky to see the Mandarin Duck, one of the most beautiful ducks in the world.

👍👍 Lovely spot for a wild swim, warm, calm water with shallow edges and a gentle gradient in. I've been coming here for some time, and they've just installed a very handy bike & clothes drying rack neatly camouflaged as a nonsensical signpost

👍 Even on a wet miserable day it is a joy to walk out with my walking group through the reserve listening to bird song - the reserve changes with the season . Walking lifts the soul.

👍👍 Wonderful place to walk, start at Meanwood park and end at the small Whale. Ok it's just a rock but open your eyes and see, nature beats intercity every time

👍👍 Great place to walk and head off in many directions via the lines way and good for biking and running. Plenty of parking at swimming baths.

👍 Nice park. Could do with some more big trees in the park. It's a bit to open in places.

👍👍 Enjoyable walk especially over the past couple of months watching the swan family grow
